• Union H.S. 2026 Football Preview (tapinto.net) — Union High School's football team kicks off its season Thursday at Edison, aiming for its first winning record since 2021 under second-year coach Barris Grant. With junior quarterback Elijah Bryant, 1,000-yard rusher Jamir Hall, and a strong returning defense, the Farmers hope steady improvement can put them in the playoff championship conversation this fall.
